| Message | Why are you creating bills and then voting against them? Also, this bill is idiotic. Why are you mixing social and capitalist issues? If for example 2,5, and 7 were separate, this would be much easier. And, why do you think I'm right-wing? I (or at least the party I am currently playing) am libertarian (ultra-capitalist, ultra-permissive), while regular right-wing is restrictive and capitalist. |

| Message | I fail to see how making all the parties look the same helps any of us at all. All it means is that whoever looks the most right by a tiny margin gets an even bigger share. |

| Message | Considering all this and his strange tirades on the nation's discussion page, I have to agree with SLPK. |
